Helps the junior league revenue to have better talent, and also allows the NHL clubs to watch the players for one more year and cut down on busts.

Better for the players as well because then if they ARE busts, they won't invest all their effort trying to make the team and forego things like college and learning life skills that aren't hockey related.

Three teams have asked permission to talk to Carlyle. Ottawa, who have interviewed him already, Minnesota and Calgary.

What the fuck

pls flames hire carlyle

Carlyle's still under contract? O.o Is it just until this July 1st or what?

yeah, or whenever coaches contracts last until, could be different

For babcock it was July 1st, pretty sure they're on the same cycle.

Always thought that was stupid. Under contract still but was fired. Wtf

"Relieved of duties." It's the equivalent of a cashier being moved to fry cook, and sometimes (like with MacTavish) the fired people are actually reassigned as scouts or somewhere in the front office that isn't in the forefront.

Sens need him for fa9
